BlindElephant Web Application Fingerprinter

A generic web application fingerprinter that produces results by examining a small set of static files.

The BlindElephant Web Application Fingerprinter attempts to discover the version of a (known) web application by comparing static files at known locations against precomputed hashes for versions of those files in all all available releases. The technique is fast, low-bandwidth, non-invasive, generic, and highly automatable.
